Character Details

Nik is a human who found themselves in the chaotic realm of the Pokémon universe. He has learned to grow and survive in the last ten years as a Riolu and now a Lucario, though he has mysteriously never been able to learn why he cannot naturally feel, see, or manipulate aura as his kind is supposed to. Regardless of this fact, he has adapted to his situation and even taken on the charge of two children that he adopted on his journey-- Mercutio and Barbara-- who are now fully grown and have come to protect him as he did them. He still has a personal journey of self-discovery, self-respect and self-love to uncover with the help of his friends along the way.

RP Information

Nik can be a little guarded, but he's a genuinely kind person and always means well, even if he may come across as overbearing at times. He's a pretty passive person and doesn't often initiate things out of a cautious nature, but he will step up and take the lead if necessary. On the player side of things, I will always default to him being less confrontational-- although if you'd like to have conflicts with him, let me know and I can make that happen. If you are about to write something bad happening to your character, you are more than welcome to imply that Nik is about to feel a small twinge of a headache! DMs, I am MORE than happy for you to imply that Nik feels off/has a migraine when something bad is about to happen! He is also open for platonic, familial, and potential romantic realtionships with others!!

Skills and Abilities

1. Nik CANNOT sense or manipulate aura. 2. Nik has somehow gained the ability to foretell disasters through headaches. 3. Nik can use impromptu weapons on the fly and has learned to fall back on them. 4. Nik is surprisingly adept at using Psychic! Telekinesis is a skill that has come naturally to him.

Vacuum Wave

Costs 0.5 actions to cast.

Nasty Plot

User gains +2 Magic.

Focus Blast

9 Tempo: -1 Resistance.

Basic Blast

Everyone has this move. Cannot benefit from STAB in any way due to being a Typeless attack.

Future Sight

User can place a size 2 Aura down that is hidden from enemies. At the end of the enemies' next phase, this Aura will strike all enemies inside for the offense value and modifier value attached to the Aura upon casting. This Aura does not consume the user's Aura slot. When casting, denote these values but do not factor any AoE reductions. The GM will need to do this calculation themselves due to the variability of enemies in range.

Copycat

This move costs 0 actions to cast. Cast a move used by the target on their latest turn, paying this move's costs first and then the copied move's. The user can move in between casting Copycat and casting the copied move, but cannot perform any actions. Cannot call Assist, Copycat, Mimic, Sketch, Revival Blessing, or Metronome. If calling an Aura move, the maintenance cost on future turns is +50% higher, rounding up.
